Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

My little brother, I'm fairly certain, pioneered this technique in dealing with our racist parents.
My parents would say something casually awful, about LGBTQ, Black, Latino, or Muslim people and my lil bro would sarcastically, and enthusiastically agree, stringing their point along to the logical conclusion of their hate-centered universe, and watch them get more and more uncomfortable.
example:
parents: "Black people are just genetically more violent"
lil Bro: "Oh yeah, they're genetically inferior all right, and genes can be altered before birth, so we should treat melanin as a genetic anomaly and edit it entirely out. we should put the rest in cages and make them perform like in a zoo. Everyone who isn't perfectly milky alabaster white should be shot out of a cannon and into the sun. My freckles are a sin to god and we should cut them out of our bodies ritualistically. My friend Gary is black, let's go fucking shoot him for it."
Parents: ๐ถ
I had been away for a minute and watched it happen for the first time, and I laughed, applauded, and clapped my bro on the back... So proud of him.
